Previously, forecasters predicted that Japan would narrowly avoid recession - its first for seven years.

Initially, the yen and the US dollar rose as investors diverted their cash from riskier assets and emerging markets, before rebounding in Tokyo, reports Forbes.

The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has warned that the recession is likely to last longer than previously expected.

John Cridland, the deputy director-general of the CBI, commented: "What is clear is that the short and shallow recession we had hoped for a matter of months ago is now likely to be deeper and longer lasting."
